78: Sister Na

The two beauties chatted and laughed in front, while Pan Han enjoyed the view from behind.

Soon, the three arrived at Spring Love Restaurant.

This restaurant is one of the top creative restaurants in Kyoto, operating on a membership basis, and has received numerous Black Pearl and Michelin stars.

Wang Doudou is an SVIP here and easily booked a private room with an excellent location.

The restaurant's lobby manager was waiting at the entrance early, personally leading Wang Doudou and the other two inside.

Upon reaching the door, Pan Han saw the sign: "Dawn Competing for Radiance."

"Whoa! This private room name is good, I like it."

"Come, come in. Let's have some tea first and wait for Sister Na," Wang Doudou greeted Pan Han and Yan Xiaoli.

Besides a dining table, the private room also had a tea area. Sitting on the 19th floor, overlooking the bustling Kyoto, it felt both detached and engaged.

"Manager Jin, please bring out the tea I stored. The three of us will rest for a bit."

"Certainly, Miss Wang, please wait a moment. Also, do you still need to see today's menu?" Manager Jin asked politely.

"Wait a moment. Xiaoli Jie, do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"No, no, I'll listen to my sister."

When did these two become sworn sisters?

Why did no one ask me if I had any dietary restrictions?

I don't like desserts, damn it!

Pan Han was left aside, feeling a bit depressed.

"Okay, then it's fine. Manager Jin, please go arrange it."

"Yes, Miss Wang. The tea master will be here shortly to brew tea for everyone."

"Xiaoli Jie, this restaurant changes its menu daily. Whatever they make, the customers eat. There's no choice," Wang Doudou began to introduce the place.

"This place is really high-class. It must not be cheap," Yan Xiaoli said, holding Wang Doudou's hand.

"It's alright, 5980 per person."

"Ah! It's so expensive, let President Pan pay. It's his business, so he should pay." Upon hearing the high price, Yan Xiaoli was afraid of owing too many favors.

"Uh, can you two talk about something serious? One moment you're becoming sworn sisters, the next you're discussing making me pay," Pan Han said with a laugh.

He hadn't told Yan Xiaoli about Wang Doudou's situation, and seeing Yan Xiaoli, who was still in the dark and speaking up for Wang Doudou, made him want to laugh a little.

"Alright, alright, let's talk about serious matters. Sister Na, who is coming today, is an old senior in the film and television industry. She can help us sort out all kinds of connections and permits. As long as we give her the money, we don't need to worry about the rest. Just wait for the company to open," Wang Doudou said with a serious expression.

"Oh? Is this Sister Na so influential?" Pan Han was a bit surprised.

"Wow! Has this Sister Na acted in movies?" Yan Xiaoli immediately became interested upon hearing she was a senior in the industry.

"No, she belongs to the circle that operates behind the scenes. She has immense influence. She doesn't like to show her face," Wang Doudou shook her head, refuting Yan Xiaoli's guess.

"Doudou, how did you get to know someone with such great influence?" Yan Xiaoli pressed.

"Sister Na and my father are old comrades-in-arms."

"No wonder! Your family has such wide connections," Yan Xiaoli said with unconcealed envy.

"So, Xiaoli Jie, rest assured, I've already greeted Sister Na in advance. Today is just for us to get to know each other. As for the film and television company, there's no need to worry at all; it will definitely be set up."

"Oh, then I'm dressed too casually. It's all President Pan's fault. I thought today was just meeting a normal friend. This is too impolite." Yan Xiaoli suddenly realized she was wearing a tracksuit.

"Haha, Xiaoli Jie, you'll know in a bit." Wang Doudou didn't say much more, leaving a little suspense.

Pan Han had no interest in joining their conversation; he just stared blankly out the window.

He had never been to such a high vantage point to overlook Kyoto before.

"This must be the feeling of being 'above others,' looking down at the common people below. Ordinary people work their whole lives, but it's not as good as a single word from someone in a high position."

At this moment, the tea master pushed the door open and began brewing tea for everyone.

After 13 exquisite steps, a cup of clear tea was placed in front of President Pan.

"President Pan, have a taste. This is good tea," Wang Doudou made a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you." Pan Han picked up the teacup, first smelling it. Indeed, the clear aroma filled his lungs, making him feel refreshed. He then took a sip.

Immediately, he felt a rich aroma and a refreshing taste, as if a warm current was surging on his tongue. The tea soup was clear and translucent, exuding a natural fragrance that made one feel pleasant.

"What good tea!" This was the best tea Pan Han had ever drunk in his life, truly extraordinary.

"It's good that you like it. I'll get you a catty later so you can drink it slowly." Wang Doudou was naturally happy to see that President Pan liked it.

"That's too kind, I'll transfer the money to you." Pan Han didn't like to take advantage of others.

"Alright, this tea is 60,000 per liang. A catty would be 600,000. Transfer the money."

"Pfft!" Pan Han almost spat it out.

"Damn it, rich people really know how to enjoy themselves! This stuff costs 600,000 a catty?" Pan Han thought to himself.

"Giggle, giggle." Wang Doudou couldn't help but laugh at his expression.

The restored Wang Doudou, whether in appearance, body, or personality, had undergone significant changes. Now she seemed just like a young girl.

Yan Xiaoli, standing by, was so astonished that she dared not utter a sound.

"Holy crap, today's gathering is too high-end. I'm so nervous, I kind of need to pee. What should I do?" Yan Xiaoli pretended to drink tea, actually trying to hide her inner nervousness.

Seeing that the two of them had stopped talking and were honestly drinking tea, Wang Doudou knew she had teased them enough and didn't continue, instead checking her watch.

11:59 AM.

"Sister Na is coming," Wang Doudou patted their hands, telling them to stop drinking for now.

Indeed, just as she finished speaking, the private room door was pushed open.

A middle-aged woman entered, dressed in a tracksuit, wearing a sports cap, and with her hair tied in a ponytail. Her face was delicate, with bright red lipstick, and she wore a pair of exquisite earrings.

"Sister Na is here!" Wang Doudou quickly stood up to greet her.

"Oh, my dear sweetie, I've missed you so much, come let me hug you quickly." Sister Na saw Doudou and embraced her with great excitement.

The two hugged for a while before finally separating.

"Oh! Doudou, why are you even more beautiful now?" Sister Na said in surprise, examining Wang Doudou.

"Ha, I have to thank President Pan for this."

Wang Doudou then introduced President Pan and Yan Xiaoli.

"Sister Na, let's chat while we eat. I'll tell them to serve the dishes."

"Alright, alright. I just got off the plane this morning and came straight here. Fortunately, I didn't eat anything. But I'm quite hungry, so I'll have to eat a lot later," Sister Na said straightforwardly, with a bold personality.

Pan Han had a good impression of her. He had originally thought Sister Na would be a very old-fashioned, reserved person, but he didn't expect her to be so vibrant.

After the four were seated, Sister Na looked at Pan Han and Yan Xiaoli, nodding continuously.

"President Pan and Xiaoli, you truly are a perfect match. Doudou praised you two like flowers before, and now I see she wasn't lying to me."

"Haha, how would I dare to lie to my Sister Na?" Wang Doudou said happily.

"This Doudou, I've watched her grow up since she was little. Logically, she should call me aunt, but we're like old friends despite the age difference. She's always called me Sister Na, and it's been many years in a blink of an eye," Sister Na explained her relationship with Wang Doudou.

"Hmm, I just heard Doudou say that you and her father are comrades-in-arms. We were wondering if calling you 'Jie' was a bit out of line," Pan Han suddenly understood.

"People in the industry give me face and call me Sister Na. From now on, you two can also call me Sister Na. I'm just two things: I don't like being called old, and I hate being late."

"Okay, Sister Na!" Pan Han and Yan Xiaoli said in unison.
